Opportunity cost.

Most animals survive just fine without our big brain intelligence right?

Now that big brain of ours takes up a ridiculous amount of the energy we take in in the form of food. About a quarter of anything you eat is used up by our brains. That is enormous…

So if a life-form does well without that cost… Why would it change?
